Christmas just so happens to be my favorite holiday. I love all things Christmas except the cold and, it's a good thing I live in Texas because there's a 50% chance it won't even be cold on Christmas. One of my main love languages is receiving gifts, and if this is your love language, or you know anything about the different love languages, you know as much as I love receiving gifts I enjoy giving them too. I find so much joy in giving the perfect gifts to the people I love which can also be kind of stressful.
When I became a mom my love for Christmas amplified even more because now I have kids of my own to spoil with love and lots of gifts. However, it can sometimes be a little frustrating and confusing on what to even get a baby or a toddler. It's like where do I even begin? Do I buy them the necessities, toys, clothes, or do I just wait until they are older? No one wants all that added stress when shopping for gifts for their littles during a time that's supposed to be joyous.
That is why I created this gift guide of 40 items perfect for your toddlers this Christmas. Make Christmas shopping one less hassle to deal with this year and find everything from educational toys to clothes. It's a one stop shop prepare for the upcoming holiday season with ease and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor Christmas morning.
